I know the book describes Katniss as olijf-, olijf skinned and black hair, but I don't. One, people need to realize that there is a 1 in a million chance of finding an olijf-, olijf skinned actress with black hair and gray eyes who is perfect for the part. Odds are she will have to wear contacts, get over it . . . Two, I don't know if u understand that olijf-, olijf skinned is code for: white girl who just has a tan. She doesn't need to be as dark as a Native American! So really if it's the choice between a girl with a tan and a pale girl, WHO CARES, pick the better actress. Also, black of dark brown hair make NO difference. It's not like her black hair is impertinent to the plot. It's just her description. Now if this were Pretty Little Liars and Spencer and Melissa needed to have blond hair because Ali is their freaking sister (GRR!!!!) That would be different. I actually picture Katniss as a dark brunette with fair skin. Sue me for being creative. Toptions (top options) Kristen Stewart, (But she could never do it because she's Twilight) Alexandra Daddario, Jodelle Ferland, Troian Bellisario, Emma Roberts, (with dark hair) Hannah Marks, (Emmy Rossum is 24 which is the same age as Troian and Alex bet she may look a little to old)and maybe Dakota Fanning, (If she would die her hair dark of course.) Let me know if u have other questions, and look up Hannah Marks cause I doubt you've heard of her. Honestly though. . . I think a no name fresh face would be the best. In the pictures I edited some of the girls a little to match the role. I didn't change Alexandra Daddario at all :)

in order of preferance

Merribelle Well if we're looking for a good actress then why is Kristen in there? She has no facial expression, which is essential for this.
I agree that whoever gets the part doesn't need BLACK hair, only dark hair, but she should be pretty dark skinned. You can do wonders with makeup though. I have dark skin and almost black hair, my eyes are brown though. Thank god I don't want the part!
BTW, olive-skinned is certainly not code for "white girl who has a tan," Olive is a completely different colour from that orange colour that white girls turn.

jennabug121 Kristen Stewart? Please! No way in heck!

CarleeMadison96 I only say kristen for appearances. N acting ability. Lol. But actually, Lauren Conrad is olive skinned, and she is white. Plus, white people are only orange if they spray tan

CarleeMadison96 not*

CarleeMadison96 Olive skin CAN be dark, but it isn't always.

jennabug121 I think if they found a clasic looking Italian actress then they could find a good match :) Or Spanish (Spanish people aren't Hispanic)

CarleeMadison96 Here's my thing though, her sister and mom are fair skinned . . . so the actress SHOULD be white. Right?

CarleeMadison96 I really think Emma roberts can pull it off, but her voice may be too girly . . .

jennabug121 hmmm......maybe :)

CarleeMadison96 I don't really like Kaya . . . A lot of people do though

isabellalala Yes but she might get her colouring from her father...
Olive skin isn't just a white girl with a tan, it's like Eva Mendes's skin colour.

SaveMe620 If I had to choose between any of them, I would pick Troian. She best fits the description to me and has more of that "Katniss" vibe. Plus I find her acting to be tolerable. Though Dakota is the one with the most acting chops of the bunch, I can't picture her.
And Kristen? Really? I'm so sick and tired of her. I can't take much more of her blinking, stuttering and her mouth always hanging open.

Lol_Cat101 what about Willa Holland, her hair isnt that dark but i think she fits the Katniss role well

this is going to be about another district competeter. she will befriend katniss and help her with beign the mockingjay.

I know hell was breaking loose outside the door but i didnt want to open it. The uprising was happening. It seem to be just a few minuten geleden I was watching the games.I always had admired Katniss and what she did in the games. Thats when she ended the games. Took down the force feild. I was shocked. I know i had to get out of here and fast. But i couldn't leave Tami. Tami might be a baby,but i couldn't leave her.I grab her and put her in the homemade pouch.I strap the pouch on my back and open the door. I don't know were my mother is so I run towards the gates. We had planned for this day. We knew that the Capitol had to go down with the games. I slid Tami under the fence. I slid after her. Children and vaulenterr teens were to got to the forest.I put the pouch on and run. Not waisting a moment.

Taylor snel, swift recently released a song for the Hunger Games movie soundtrack and after a long period of waiting, they released an official video for it too. Here is my interpretation of it:

At the beginning, inside a small, house with a melancholy atmosphere, 2 people are sitting in a room with a brand going. There is a man and a woman. The man has long brown hair, and I presume that he is supposed to be an older version of Peeta. The woman has dark brunette hair, and like Katniss, blue-gray eyes. I think that it is her and they are sitting together with Peeta playing the guitar. It then shows...

So here's a book meld I wrote for my English class this jaar -- while reading, please keep in mind that my teacher hasn't read any of the boeken so I had to explain the plot shortly... Even if it kinda overran from short to, well, long. Ish.
